Applications are open for the FMSH/IFEAC Atlas Postdoctoral Fellowship 2020. The Fondation Maison des sciences de l’homme (FMSH) and the Institut Français d’Etudes sur l’Asie Centrale (IFEAC), with the support of the Ministry of Higher Education, Research and Innovation, offer short-term fellowships of three months in France for postdoc researchers from Central Asia who have presented their thesis from 2014.

This research stay is designed to enable researchers to conduct research studies in France: field enquiries, library and archives work. At the end of their stay, laureates will have to provide the FMSH and the IFEAC with a report presenting the work done during their stay and the benefits for their research project. This call is part of the Atlas short-term postdoctoral mobility programme offered by the FMSH and its partners.

Fellowship
